Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe received a standing ovation at Saturday's opening of the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) Summit held in Malawi's capital Lilongwe.
At the same meeting, Mr. Mugabe also apologised to a member of South African President Jacob Zuma’s facilitation team whom he once labelled a ‘street woman.’
Mr Mugabe's applause came during introductions of the heads of state and government and other delegates at the summit over the weekend.
When SADC director of communications Charles Mubita introduced the Zimbabwean president to the jam-packed Bingu International Conference Centre Hall at the opening of the summit, delegates and the entire audience gave him a standing ovation, clapping and ululating.
An excited Mugabe stood up and waved to the delegates and sat down. But when the clapping continued, the Zimbabwean leader had to stand again and he made his famous "fist up" gesture, driving the audience's excitement to the brim.
